When she got off work that day, Jeremy sought her out. Knowing she planned to attend the memorial the following day, he gave an understanding nod. "It is appropriate that you go. What time are you heading over?"
"First thing tomorrow morning," Felicia replied.
"I have some matters to attend to in the morning, but Anthony and I will drop by in the afternoon," Jeremy told her.
"Alright," she said.
When Felicia returned home, she found that Ava, Colton, and the rest of the family had already heard the news of Brysen's passing. They raised no objections to her plan to attend the memorial and decided to go themselves. Even though they could hardly be considered family with the Hawthornes anymore, and the Hawthornes likely did not want them there, the Ross family chose to do what they felt was right.
The next morning, the sky was a gloomy shade of gray, threatening a heavy downpour. Felicia dressed in a long black gown, elegantly pinned her hair up, and headed downstairs. After eating breakfast, Greg drove the family toward the memorial hall.
Traffic began to back up hundreds of meters from the entrance. A massive crowd had gathered to pay their respects, with luxury cars and prestigious license plates indicating that all the prominent figures of the Capital were in attendance. They sat in gridlock for over half an hour before the car finally crawled into the parking lot. By then, the bleak sky had broken open, unleashing a torrential rain.
Greg stepped out and held an umbrella over her, gently reminding her to be careful. "The ground is slippery. Watch your step."
"I will," Felicia replied, looping one arm through Greg's while holding a bouquet of flowers in her other hand.
When they arrived at the memorial hall, the space was already packed. Despite the large crowd, the entire venue was utterly silent. Everyone wore expressions of profound grief as they queued to enter the mourning chamber. The Hawthorne family had arranged for staff to specifically welcome guests of special status. As the Hawthorne butler stepped out of the chamber, his gaze landed on the Ross family. His expression immediately darkened.
Felicia noticed the butler as well. After ushering them inside, the butler hurried over to Rose to report their arrival. Miranda was too unwell to receive guests and was resting in her room, leaving the memorial duties to her two sons and the wives of her grandsons.
Colton and Ava stepped forward first to bow and place a flower, followed closely by Greg and Felicia.
Colton and Ava then approached Rose, offering their condolences in soft voices. "We are so sorry for your loss."
They did not personally know Rose, but Felicia had advised them before entering that they should at least offer a word of comfort to the main hosts. Speaking to Tatiana was out of the question, so addressing Rose was the right choice.
"Thank you. We appreciate you making the trip," Rose replied graciously.
"It is the least we could do," Colton murmured.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
